Having been commander-in-chief for over 4 years now, President Barack Obama has learned a thing or two about keeping his cool.

The prez proved his patience and empathy yesterday when he was heckled, not once, but TWICE by vocal Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin during a speech at the National Defense University in Washington D.C.

It's pretty clear that Obama and Medea have differing opinions about the closure of Guantanamo Bay and his use of drone strikes! LOLz!!!

But while he could've very well dismissed the activist's screams, Obama insisted that her opinions are important even if they disagree.

The world leader even cracked a joke about her verbal outburst to cut the tension!

Ch-ch-check the uncomfortable, surprising moments (above)!!!

"Mr. POTUS, sir, ________________________________________!"

Hate It Or Love It, this is how The Game rolls!

After twerking like a champ at Lure Nightclub in Hollywood on Saturday, the rapper ran into a few complications as he made his exit!

He politely answered a paparazzi question about Eazy-E's hologram, but then some unknown force nearby set him off!!

The musician ripped off his shirt and rushed through the crowd like a shade-seeking missile

Barack Obama is 100 days into his second term as U.S. President and boy is his plate full!

The Commander-In-Chief spoke at length to the press this morning!

His briefing that covered a variety of topics including chemical weapon use in Syria, sanctioned torture at Guantanamo Bay, the failed gun bill, the investigation of the terror attacks in Benghazi, his assessment of the Boston Marathon bombings investigation, and even a shout-out to Jason Collins — the NBA free agent who yesterday announced he's black, gay, and proud!!

We prefer watching the President rag on Conan O'Brien and CNN at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, but today's briefing was a serious affair!!

In reference to the ongoing investigations in Boston and alleged terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Barack said

This nightmare may be far from over, but now that the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, has been apprehended alive in Watertown, Massachusetts following a 24-hour-manhunt that left his older brother and first suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev and MIT officer Sean Collier shot dead, the nation can at least begin to move toward healing with the comfort of knowing that justice is on its way to being served.

After the incredible heroism displayed by local, state and federal officers in the Boston suburb last night, President Barack Obama held a press conference at The White House, where he addressed the nation and commended the citizens of Boston for standing up in the face of terror and proving what a united, compassionate community they truly are.

Ch-ch-check out his powerful words (above).

Whoa! Our Commander-in-Chief is PISSED!

President Barack Obama spoke to the nation from the White House Rose Garden just minutes ago, but there was nothing rosy about his words or demeanor!

The U.S. Senate rejected gun legislation this afternoon that 90% of the American people supported and the Prez is FUMING mad!!!

The Manchin-Toomey bill was a modest proposal to amp up background checks at gun shows and on the internet, but the vote failed 54-46.

In what was very far from a concession speech, Mr. Obama assured his country that he would continue fighting against the wreckless sale of firearms and that this miscarriage of democracy should not be forgotten by the voters come Congressional re-election time!

Unafraid to point fingers, he says the gun lobby "willfully lied" to the American people and he shamed
